Leading in the Matrix
Proven Skills and Strategies to Successfully Lead in a Collaborative World
In today’s business world, many Global organizations are shifting away from decentralized, vertical structures to a “matrix” model of cross-functional teams that work across a number of business units. When executed successfully, a matrix structure helps companies thrive in the modern market by better leveraging internal resources, eliminating duplication, spurring innovation, and driving enterprise-wide strategy. However, in order to realize these benefits, leaders must be able to thrive in midst of the following leadership challenges:
- Collaborating with Multiple Stakeholders – Integrated structures increase the inherent complexity of collaborating across boundaries with multiple stakeholders.
- Influencing without Authority – Leaders are less frequently in a position where stakeholders have a “mandate” to partner with them. As a result, it is critical for them to strengthen their ability to inspire and influence their stakeholders to partner with them – without position power or simple authority.
In our over 30 years of experience, we have witnessed first-hand the most essential skills and abilities to not only survive, but thrive in today’s current business world and overcome these challenges. We bring these insights and skills to our clients in this program.
